"Sleazy? You sure we're talking about the same Yoshiwara, old man?" *rolls eyes* "I believe you're those men who think they're too elite to visit courtesans. So, what would be your plan to "improve" this city other than tax-robbing the citizens, elite-sama ?"

"Oh please don't take offence, Lady Tsukuyo. Yoshiwara's eliteness is certainly not in question. Any number of elites have met their ends elitely assassinated within your walls."

"But you're very kind to ask my opinion, though this audience hasn't the faculties to appreciate an elite's perspective. As you did ask, perhaps we might take a lesson from your admirable pleasure quarter and move Kabukichou underground, where it won't be such an eyesore to its respectable neighbours."

Gintoki has to remind himself to find a way Saigou to shut up about what happens in that okama bar. There should have been a rule of silence of some sort. Something like the "first rule of okama club is not to talk about okama club". Gintoki's so called "maiden " heart is really pissed right now.

*Mouth twitch*

"I- I have no idea what are you talking about Tsukuyo. Paako? Is that some sort of energy drink. Is it a new brand of Pocari? Pocari Paako? '

Gintoki needs to find a way to change the subject. Seppeku grounds, gangster shoguns, Kabuki-wara, and a elite pain in the ass are too much to handle all at once.

"Besides, we already got enough "night time fun" around here anyways. *Raises eyebrow* What are you doing here ? Aren't you usually busy over something? Or what, you wanted to kick back for once? IWell its okay Tsukuyo, every girly girl needs a break. Maybe find a spa or maybe stuff yourself with comfort food. Just please don't visit another host club though. "

"Lovers' quarrels should stay behind closed doors," Sasaki comments mildly. "Unless this was all a distraction from the real issue at hand. If so, I congratulate you, Sakata-san, but please let us return to that matter."

He takes another step towards Sakata Gintoki, sword still raised in fighting stance.

"You object to the Seppuku Grounds as too brutal. What is your opinion on executing the Joui terrorists instead? It would be much more humane, wouldn't you agree? Simply to lop off a man's head rather than making him spill his guts?"

Shinpachi must be distracted or something. A good old straight man jab would be much appreciated right about now.

"L-lover's quarrel? Elite-chan, I have no idea what you are talking about. I just think Kabuki-Wara isn't exactly in the best interest of the people that is all. "

*Looks at Otae *

(I ...won't bother with her. OI, READERS ITS NOT BECAUSE I AM SCARED OR ANYTHING OKAY?"

*Shifts his gaze back to Sasaki's movements, and clenches Lake Toya harder*

Gintoki takes a deep breath. He knows very well that he can't press too much on the Seppeku Grounds issue too much either. After all, being too defensive might as well be admitting to the lovely television audience members that this silver haired fellow might feel joy for the Joi.

*Gintoki narrows his eyes just a bit *

"I do recall innocent people getting swept up in Joi Patriot hunts before. Really good people too. "

Well Mr. Send Mayo Lovers to the Seppeku Grounds, may be a hypocrite, but at least he got something out of chest.

*Smiles*

"Well we can worry about those trivial issues later. Lets focus on say the environment. Recylcing is good you know."

"Measures taken to protect Kabukichou must be considered and executed...because Kabukichou is in need of a hero, not that they deserve, but a hero they need, to guide them in their times of need, to protect the weak from the oppressing and to be a watchful guardian in the silent knight. This is what Kabukichou needs. "
